Trump Takes A Cut of AMD and Nvidia's (NVDA) Sales
Briefly

Nvidia and AMD have entered an agreement to send 15% of revenue from chip sales to China to the U.S. government. This policy currently targets high-margin semiconductor exports, potentially generating billions in federal income each year. However, it raises concerns about the possibility of broader outbound tariffs affecting U.S. multinationals across various sectors. This move indicates a strategy to leverage U.S. technology dominance for economic gain, but it introduces political and regulatory uncertainties that may complicate international trade relationships.
